About the Angmo Hostel by Amaka

Tucked away on Prapokklao Road Soi 7 in the Phra Sing district, this hostel stands out in Chiang Mai's crowded accommodation landscape thanks to its thoughtful design, impeccable cleanliness, and attentive staff. It feels like it was designed by someone who has stayed in countless hostels themselves and set out to solve all the common problems – from well-designed dormitories with soundproof curtains to inviting common areas.

Guests can expect a hostel with clean dormitories and shared bathrooms, a small pool, and a welcoming atmosphere that encourages both socializing and relaxation. A free breakfast is included; guests can choose a meal and a drink from a menu each morning – a practical solution that keeps daily costs down. The staff is known for its friendliness and helpfulness, and the hostel provides a folder with recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area, ideal for day trips or exploring the city.

Angmo Hostel by Amaka is ideal for solo travelers and budget-conscious visitors who value comfortable and well-maintained accommodation. As it's a smaller hostel with a good reputation, beds are often booked up quickly during Chiang Mai's peak season between November and February. Therefore, early booking is recommended.

    A beautiful and totally relaxed hostel! Everything is spotless and the rooms are gorgeous. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The curtains are fantastic too: they dampen noise perfectly and completely darken the room – perfect for a restful night. The showers are great, with really strong water pressure and the water gets nice and hot! Fresh towels are provided every day. The facilities and service are also very helpful, including laundry service and an ironing board. The staff are super friendly and helpful – whether it's for general tips or booking tours and excursions. We stayed here because it was my girlfriend's birthday, and we were able to make the day truly unforgettable! Every morning there's a free, hot, and freshly prepared breakfast, as well as a free drink with a wide selection. I don't usually drink coffee, but now I have a caramel latte every morning. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the main streets and shops. I highly recommend this hostel and will definitely be back!

    The rooms and beds were good and always kept clean. The toilets and showers were also fine. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. There was a folder with lots of helpful activities and recommendations. The hostel also offered a free breakfast with a menu. The selection was a mix of Thai and Western cuisine, and the portions were really generous. The location is great, only about a five-minute walk from Gate Market, and almost everything is nearby (restaurants, massage parlors, etc.). What I liked best was how easy it was to meet other people at the hostel. I made friends with whom I'll stay in touch for a long time.

    The best hostel in Chiang Mai ever! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and bright, and breakfast was included! Every day you could choose a meal and a drink. A particularly handy feature: the room had a locker (plenty of storage space) where you could keep your belongings (especially important for the girls 🤣). Highly recommended!

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    A pool villa doesn't have to be expensive.

    Villas with private pools in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai are available from around 2,500–4,000 THB per night – a fraction of the prices in Bali or the Maldives. Search specifically for "pool villa" to discover hidden gems.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
